Economic growth, as we’ve seen
since the first of the year, can
no longer be taken for granted.
Any growth is good growth and
typically, the consulting profession has outpaced other industries. And, year in and year out,
the Seven Small Jewels have
far outperformed the overall
profession. In 2015, our winning firms grew revenue at an
astounding 66 percent. And,
they’re projecting 42 percent
growth this year. Interestingly,
each year the growth outpaces
what must be conservative
forecasting. The Seven Small
Jewels are highlighted in this
special 13-page section. Their
stories are unique, yet there’s
a common thread that runs
through them all. Each “David”
has carved out a very lucrative
niche to topple many “
Goliaths.” We also highlight this
year’s Seven To Watch—firms
that are indeed very impressive,
but aren’t quite ready to be
named one of the Seven Small
Jewels. But stay tuned.
